Lots of good stuff
I've got four boys, 12, 8, 4, and 4 months. It is hell trying to be a parent now-adays. I see parents of students at my son's school come in when their child is in trouble and try to blame it on the system or the teacher causing the problems. Our kids are not latch-key anything, we have never left the 12 year old home alone or with any of his brothers - I worked to damned hard building this house

I agree that setting a good example is very important. I'm in the process of setting up a domain at my house so the kids can use a computer of their own. It will be behind a proxy and I will monitor what they do on that computer. No file sharing / BT / Hubs / Pr0n / seedy chat rooms / IM chats with strangers are going to happen in my house without my approval. I hope
